Once when I was little, at school we got these bags, like those ones you put presents in, and we had to put a present in it for a kid in hospital. I had to make one for a girl and I remember putting in a toy sheep which I think was one of my toys I had, as well as some other stuff. And I remember being all cute and writing a little message which was extremely cheesy - 'remember to be strong and (name of sheep) will take care of you'.

So my friend and I would like to start something to help people, and we know it's too hard to do international things so we want to help people/help out closer to home. What are some causes/charities that we should look into?

That story was kind of something I thought of, maybe giving to kids who need it? But those Christmas gift charities and things already exist.

I've decided, that a nonsense sentence is the way to go.

33 days of no biting. Whoo. I meant, biting nails. They're so happy to be not bitten. My brain is gone.

Then

you heard of these books?

there's a boy, and he finds out he's a wizard, and goes to a wizarding school and learns how to do cool stuff like apparate and ride broomsticks and summon stuff to himself.

how cool would that be, although i think more people would be fat and lazy if they could just magic everything for themselves

but anyway, i think i make an awesome cho chang, don't you?

It's rather nice when it rains in summer. I'm seriously struggling to think of anything.

Well, right now...it doesn't seem like we are. I was thinking about this last night when I couldn't force myself to get up to write a blog post (feel free to punish me if you like). But so far, this is what I've gotten out of it.

>What Blog 365 Has Given Me So Far:

>- A bit more liberty to express my views

- A tad of improvement in writing

>- Another 365 project

- An outlet, kind of forhidingthings

That was squeezing blood out of a stone, but we're so close to the end...I might just hang on for a little bit more.

Horrible

What are we getting out of doing this blog?

Achievement in anything?

Goodbye

Asdfgah. The world came pettily crashing down today. Anyway, yes Joy - we should have come up with a sentence before, this is turning nonsensical and kind of dodgy..

And

This is a weird story, it really is

Will not be posting on friday and possibly saturday

Do you think we should have come up with a sentence beforehand? :(

Disagree

Doo doo doo. My brain hurts more from cutting up raffle tickets than it does writing four essays. How are your exams?

Although

Doo doo doo. First exam tomorrow. When I say that the posts over the next couple of weeks are going to be like this - expect me to go against what I'm saying and do something else. What? Okay.

Wise

Let's briefly discuss three artists (a very loose term) that I like. Firstly, Marc Johns. This man makes me wish that I had thought up all of those awesome things - not a very nice feeling at that. There's Martin Creed, installation artist who does the most intriguing things. He's not exactly a very articulate man, but actually communicates better in that sense. And Miranda July, you'll never guess the password.

They all begin with M.
I'd do 'Art Thursdays', but I lack the commitment.
I should've picked three artists all with the initials, 'MJ'.
Coincidence isn't on my side.
Joy, I'm always right (:

rushing for time

i know i didn't post yesterday

oh and i don't have capital letters, brigitte was right

it is thursday

Said,

(3:46pm) I never drink coffee when, I mean (loll)...I drink coffee once and go "never again". Look what I did. It's been three hours since my coffee and I'm jumping around to the Indiana Jones theme song. Things got epic when it came back to the return chorus. Too much MLIA, too much internet, too much time in the day. BRAAAAINS. Hey, look Joy - I'm posting during the day! (3:48pm)

Please

The weather's dandy over here.

Joy, I think that you'll spontaneously combust before Thursday because of this proper grammar. It's quite nice though - I know that you know how to use proper grammar anyway.

I feel like I'm on brain break. It's as if school has tricked all of our brains into thinking that the holidays have come early. Maybe you should make up a punishment for me if I haven't studied enough for the day.

EDIT: Oh, I don't post in the day because even I procrastinate blog posting. Go figure..

Ask

It's hot and I don't really like it.
Do you think I can go a week with proper grammar?
Brig is on study break, haha. Why do you still post at night, if you are on your laptop all day?

Giving Presentations

1. It is best in one's interest to assume that people are actually engaged in what you're saying, just that they don't have the capacity to look remotely interested at all.

2. With this in mind, try to act enthusiastic about your cause; your case; whatever.

3. When people do start arm shelfing and check their watch every now and then - keep going, don't mutter into the ends of your sentences.

4. Don't mutter anything, for that matter.

That's a really interesting theory Joy. (Because I'm short,) I just checked my calf sans muscle and yeah...there's no muscle. Am I supposed to tense up my leg? There's something if I do.

I suppose that shorter people would have slightly more calf muscle than a taller person if you either took an average of about thirty people or found two people who did the same amount of exercise on a regular basis. It'd be kind of unreliable if you had a half-arsed tall person and a little rower. But if that person was a rower and little (little enough), they'd be a cox. But do coxes (lol) have to exercise as well? I guess so, or else they'd just be rotting away in a corner during training.

That's definitely a ramble. Tl;dr?

I found this really really funny, I love Wikipedia:

Cox-less boats

A boat without a cox is known as a coxless or "straight" boat. Besides the obvious single and double, straight pairs and fours are the most common coxless boats at regattas in the US. Because of their speed and lack of maneuverability, eights without a cox are very rare and dangerous.

Regatta wins

Coxswains are traditionally thrown into the water after a regatta win.

Bro

To all short people out there: do you have really nice calf muscles?

I have a theory, that tiny people have really nice calves, cause they have to take more steps to keep up with everyone, also cause stairs would be harder to get up because their legs are shorter.

But

Money is complicated, but life would be complicated if we got rid of it
I felt pretty philisophical when I was thinking about that

Isn't it strange how people leave their cars parked in public places, where anyone could break in and steal stuff, or tow it away, or smash it up?

I mean you wouldn't leave your tv lying around would you?

But it's funny about cars, if you don't have the key, for some reason it's useless.

Uh, Joy - I thought that you put the banana there as a random act. Which kinds of supports randomness and its need to be celebrated. Okay, let's start making small goals to entertain myself:

1. Steal project 2) and scan things to show you. Oh, did I mention that I was going to show you guys project 2)? I must as well. Kind of.

2. Commit three acts of total randomness tomorrow. It's not going to be kind, or mean. Just...random.

---

But wow, Joy. That is so MLIA. I've always been slightly skeptic of the stuff posted on there..

And

So the picture of the banana on our blog says celebrating randomness,
well I haven't seen much randomness celebration yet,
so here it is:

Most random thing that's happened to me, I was on the tram and looked out the window to see a few guys dressed as power rangers walking down the street. I felt like a MLIA person.

Zest-O rootbeer tastes like sarsaparillac mouthwash. Only drink it if you intend on rinsing and spitting. If I were to mix normal rootbeer and listerine, out would pop Zest-O rootbeer. I would rather drink water than Zest-O rootbeer, which is a rather significant point - because I'm stupid enough to dislike drinking water. If I could choose to wash my car (my hypothetical car) with battery acid or Zest-O, I'd pick battery acid hands down. If I had to poison my arch nemesis with Zest-O rootbeer or absinthe, I'd choose Zest-O - purely for the fact that they'd suffer even more.

If I were in a desert, with the choice of drinking Zest-O rootbeer or lie there dying of thirst? I would drink the rootbeer, silly.

Say,

Wouldn't it be great to go back to the old times? When kids were good and people were honest, and women made the clothes and the food and men worked on the farm.

Of course one thing that would have to change would be civil rights, but other than that it's all good

Thanks

It's such a peculiar thing, thanking people. Does one thank people at regular intervals, like a timely reminder of how much you appreciate them as a person? Or does one go for the ultimatum approach - thanking them at the final point i.e. when you are most likely to never see them ever again.

To thank is to express gratitude or appreciation. But you could be thanking them for what they have done for you, or you could be thanking them for being themselves. Either way, both parties are affected.

1. Thanking for affect

2. Thanking for effect

I don't know which one occurs more often, but I know that it's just as good either way.

brigitte had an amazing idea, but you probably won't notice for a while :)
